I have made this recipe a few times , and it never seems to disappoint. It is so easy to make, and best of all, they so yummy and moist! If you’re trying to eat healthy , this is not for you. They are so rich and oh so chocolatey, my favourite ! Definitely a treat! Okay… try this recipe out and taste them for yourself!

What do you need?

100g dark chocolate (Preferably 70%)

120g butter

150g dark brown sugar

150g caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence/extract

2 large eggs, beaten

150g flour

pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 170ºC or 338ºF Fan

Place non-stick baking paper on a 20cm square cake tin, and put aside.

Melt the chocolate as well as the butter in the microwave and make sure you don’t burn the chocolate, so check up on it every 20 seconds.

When the chocolate and butter are melted, mix it well. Put this mixture aside and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Stir the two types of sugar together in a mixing bowl.

Add the vanilla essence and the beaten eggs, and whisk together, until well mixed.

Pour the cooled melted chocolate and butter into the mixture, and stir to combine well.

Sift the flour and salt through a sieve into the mixture and gently stir together.

Pour the mixture into the cake tin which is prepared, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is nice and glossy. Be careful that you don’t overcook the brownies or they will be dry.

Often Monday’s are known as dull and boring, but you can change that… Its all to do with your attitude, if you feel positive , you can make the most of that day. Even for me as a student its hard , if you know an event is happening on a Monday that you aren’t looking forward to , it drags you down.

I like to be organised and plan my week ahead, in my diary, on a Sunday evening . I know that if i don’t plan my week ahead , Monday feels like a load pilling up on my shoulders. So it definitely helps by packing my bag and planning my diary for the week ahead.

I find that doing something you love or admire on a Monday morning, can help brighten up your day. There are so many things you can do , but for me i enjoy picking some fresh flowers out the garden. (oops..sorry mom!) I normally place the flowers in a vase next to my bed side table, and i will be able to admire them before i wake up and go to sleep! They don’t even have to be bright or colourful , but they must be pretty! I absolutely LOVE flowers !(And i’m pretty sure most girls do too!) Another thing i enjoy doing is getting dressed into a outfit that i love and that i feel confident in.

So this morning , i showered and got dressed , picked some flowers and had a great start to my day !
